Chris Borich battled Taylor Kiser &
the dust to claim his 2nd Straight Win
& 3rd win of the season at the Big
Buck GNCC |
Union, SC - Defending Champion
Chris Borich continues to dominate the Can-Am
Grand National Cross Country Series, claiming
his third win in four races at today's Pirelli
Big Buck GNCC in Union, South Carolina.
Borich's M.O. this year has been to come from
behind, and today was no different, as the Yoshimura
Suzuki rider got off to a so-so start and then
carved his way to the front, passing Ballance
Racing/Yamaha's Taylor Kiser with less than
a lap to go to take the win.
"I worked hard for this one," said
Borich. "I saw the white flag and I decided
it was time to go, but there was not much room
for passing out there and Taylor was going really
well."
For the final two laps, Kiser and Borich were
never more than a few lengths apart, and their
fierce battle carried them to a healthy cushion
over third place, which at first was held by
FRE KTM's Bryan Cook, and then later by Can-Am's
Adam McGill. Kiser might have held on for the
win had Borich not saved an ace up his sleeve
for the final lap.

Yamaha's Taylor Kiser held the lead for
most of the race, but once again he had
to settle for 2nd place with a last lap
pass by Chris Borich for the win |
Can-Am / Warnert Racing's Adam
McGill made his return to the Podium for
the 2nd time this year, which has McGill
currently sitting 3rd place in Pro Points |
"On the previous lap, I saw this line
going down a hill and I gained a lot of ground
on Kiser there. I knew if I could find it again
then I could make a pass there," said Borich.
"On the last lap, I saw the line and I
just held it wide open and got around him him."
Kiser held on to finish in the runner-up position,
two seconds behind Borich, while McGill claimed
his second podium of the year with a third,
the West Virginian passing Cook and Can-Am teammate
Chris Bithell late in the race to do so.

"The dust was pretty bad and after I got
a bad start I knew I would have to stay right
on those guys if I wanted to get around them,"
said McGill. "I just tried to make passes
where I could, and on the final lap I caught
up with Cook and then he pitted and I ended
up getting him at the start/finish. Then I caught
Bithell and he ended up waving me by - I don't
know if he was having problems or what, but
I thank him."
